Miss Hedren And Mr. Hitch-cock’s Erections
The saga of Tippi Hedren having been harassed (emotionally, obsessively, to some extent sexually) by Alfred Hitchcock during the filming of “The Birds” and to a lesser extent “Marnie” was revealed 33 years ago in Donald Spoto‘s “The Dark Side of Genius.†That controversial 1983 book includes a story about Hitchcock having attempted “to grab and violently kiss Hedren in the back of a car as they drove on to the set.†Now we have Hedren’s new memoir, “Tippi,†which includes a portion that recounts the same sordid saga. One summary of the book says mentions Hitchcock having “talked with Hedren about getting erections, and [that he] would ask her to touch him.†Unhinged.
